On April 5, the Pennsylvania Resources Council will host the first of four 2014 “hard-to-recycle” collection events to enable individuals to drop off e-waste such as computers and televisions, cellphones, printer/toner cartridges, CFLs, microwave ovens, used vegetable/cooking oil and polystyrene packaging material at no cost.
The first PRC hard-to-recycle collection will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills in Tarentum (parking lot near Dingbats.)
While most items – including televisions and computers – will be collected free of charge, individuals will pay a nominal fee to drop off alkaline batteries, tires, small freon appliances, fluorescent tubes, vacuum cleaners and small kitchen appliances.
